An Electric DRIVERLESS Tractor in New Zealand!

This Monarch tractor is not only 100% battery powered, but it's smart enough to literally drive itself around the farm. Built by the American manufacturer Monarch, this driver-optional slice of futuristic farming equipment is being put to work at Forest Lodge Orchard, a cherry growing operation in the South Island of New Zealand which is now 100% fossil fuel-free.

It's a glimpse of what's possible and what's coming for farming, not only slashing operating costs & carbon emissions, but also allowing skilled farm labour to ditch mundane tasks such as mowing grass or spraying fertiliser, and instead concentrate on more interesting and productive areas of growing crops. And while this may look like a novelty for some armchair farmers, cleaner and more efficient farming is where it's heading – and it's coming sooner than many are expecting.
